It is truly amazing that the response to a school shooting has become 'MORE GUNS IN SCHOOL!'

i was thinking of the piss tape this morning and realized that the hard push to arm teachers over the past week is actually much worse. one is a gross personal sexual fetish and the other is directly telling every parent in america: "i actually want more guns in schools, right there in your kid's classroom."

edit: to clarify - i believe in piss tape and i want piss tape. but after the school shooting it feels trite and i'm not sure how much it will ultimately matter, unless we get an mp4 loaded directly onto youtube and can see the president's micropenis or something

The zero-sum narrative about funding programs is bullshit, but also we could fund MFA for less than 80% of what individuals already pay for private insurance, to corporations with almost no obligation to cover healthcare.

Honestly, it's probably giving them too much credit, but the school shooting and the reaction to it are two of the best arguments I've heard for online/home schooling.

think tanks think the genie isnt already unbottled

ok heres the thing: having a decorous society that respects reasonable differing political opinion, favors justice, and prefers consistency, precedent, and incremental change to swings in all directions depending whos in power?? thats a victory. thats, like, congrats, youve won as a society for now. enjoy it, care for it

idk if pandemic the board game is super popular but its a lot of fun and one of the great bits is that its collaborative and there are a million ways to lose together, but only one win state. and sometimes you can be tempted to go for a cure or eradicate a disease a round or two more quickly, by ignoring things that are likely enough to go wrong and lose the game if not addressed. your tempted to win faster but by not putting in the work, you get all hosed up. eventually you learn that before your able to win you have to not lose—you cant rush to victory w/o shoring up everything thats gonna end poo poo first

trying to return to :decorum: and acting like theres a reasonably centrist aisle to reach across and working to improve things incrementally from a livable baseline—thats game winning poo poo, and a lot of folks are acting like we can get back to filling in our victory conditions w/o addressing the disease cubes piling up all over our social/political/legal game board

i get the temptation to try to win but ffs we need to not lose first

the problem with this is that in board games or other analogies it assumes people who are pretty aware of the rules of the game, understand the scope of their power, who are motivated, and who are just kind of torn between helping their generation or alter generations. but none of those are true

its not a matter of minor attitude adjustment whereby there are gains to be had or gains to be lost or temporary struggles to power through, its a matter of the fundamental social contract being poo poo. and the nature of that contract is mimetic - it isn't voided until billy bob yokel who doesn't know what state he lives in agrees that the contract is hosed and is open to tearing it down and starting anew

yeah i think im probably finding a new place to live if the only response to this whole thing ends up being a bunch of teachers having guns lol

i mean i was already leaning that way before but every day america runs headlong into some new spin-off hellworld and honestly this place and most of the people in it are such unrepentant garbage that it's hard to muster up the will to stick it out and try to fight for anything to get better

I'm looking at a BBC article on the Leicester explosion and the photos of the blast site are amazing. The blast blew straight up, but not out apparently. The walls of the buildings next-door are still secure and everything in between those other buildings is just gone.
